Fortunate
Reworks Fortune to not increase the amount of drops, but instead increase the chances of getting more drops.
About this Mod
Fortunate
Fortunate is a data pack that reworks how Fortune works.
Fortune's drop increasing is now built into the ore, and Fortune just increases the chances of getting these extra ores.
Emerald ore also drops 2-4 ores without Fortune rolls.
This pack was made to buff ores for players who are not interested in following metas, such as waiting on Fortune III and trying to get it ASAP, or making farms to get their materials.
Happy Spelunking everybody.
Configuring the Data Pack
This datapack is licensed under the MIT license, which means you're free to modify it provided you don't remove the LICENSE from the root folder.
Changing the Fortune chances
Fortune chances can be modified by going into data/fortunate/predicates/fortune_chances.json, and modifying the values that are present there.
The array starts at level 0 and increases by 1 level for each value.
Adding Modded Ores
Modded ores are not included by default, however, they are easily includable by doing the following:
{
...
"type": "minecraft:item",
"functions": [
- {
- "enchantment": "minecraft:fortune",
- "formula": "minecraft:ore_drops",
- "function": "minecraft:apply_bonus"
- },
+ {
+ "function": "minecraft:reference",
+ "name": "fortunate:add_with_fortune"
+ }
...
],
"name": "example:my_cool_material"
}
If you have a specific case like Redstone, where more than one ore will drop, you can copy data/fortunate/item_modifiers/add_with_fortune and replace the "count" value with your specified value.
